'Moonstruck'

More of a cultural study than a movie. If you really think about it, the plot is really boring, predictable and dumb.

But it's a whimsical, fun look at the Italian-American sub-culture -- how they think, work, live, love and co-exist.

Nick Cage is Nick Cage and Cher is Cher. Neither knock my socks off.
The Italians are a funny group. It's fascinating watching films where their culture is prominent.
The use of food, family and language tends to give them a lot of depth that many American sub-groups do not have.
